Sunday, December 7, 2008 - Decanted for a hour and drank over the next three. Beautiful. The nose on this wine is amazing - floral notes and cherry. A spicy and peppery syrah. Very complex and multi-dimensional. A big wine on the palate but also very smooth and pleasant to drink. Long, sweet finish. 97+ points.
Very similar to the 2005 Lillian but a little more complex and a better nose. That said, I think the Lillian is a great substitute for the SQN (especially at 1/3 of the price).
